Watching this video I realized the “cast on” I learned to do at a yarn shop as a child over 50 years ago was the long tail cast on! I was taught exactly the same way you do it!
That will just depend on the stitch pattern. If it’s garter you knit every row but if Stockinette stitch you would purl every other row. Hope that helps!
Hello; I haven't been able to find a contact email for you on your website; I missed the Alanis KAL by just a day or two :( was so sad, but I am looking forward to purchasing the class when it comes out at the end of March. It's a wonderful idea; workshop + KAL. Plus the top is adorable. If possible, I would like to know to know the yarn, gauge and amount I need (for a medium-large), to procure so that I can get a headstart by purchasing and swatching my yarn. My contact info is widely available online. Thank you so much!

Thank you I have always been weary of doing my work on round needles because I have always messed it up. Thanks to you I am knitting away!!
Thank you for a this video!!! I appreciate it!!!
Thank you, I started to join them.😃
Wait so is the second row knitted or purled??
That will just depend on the stitch pattern. If it’s garter you knit every row but if Stockinette stitch you would purl every other row. Hope that helps!

Very useful
You didn’t say whether you are knitting each row
In this demo I was knitting each row but the technique of how you work back and forth is the same even if you were purling back. I hope that helps!
but after your cast on - are you not not ON THE WRONG SIDE
It depends on the particular pattern - sometimes the first row after cast on is a RS row and sometimes it’s a WS row. Hope that helps! 😊
